You’re probably wondering why I am thankful for that. Well it’s because of this: In a year when national Republican fortunes took a turn for the worse, Louisiana delivered the GOP two seats in Congress in elections delayed by Hurricane Gustav. Indicted Democratic U.S. Rep. William Jefferson was ousted Saturday from his New Orleans area […]
Just listening to CNN, something caught my ear. They are talking about the “brave” residents that chose to stay behind and ride it out. The weather service issued one of their strongest warnings ever with this storm, and these people are brave? They sure didn’t call the people in New Orleans, who decided to try […]
John McCain is talking about skipping the GOP convention or having it postponed due to Gustav. Here is what he said: McCain told Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday” in an interview taped for broadcast Sunday that the convention could be rescheduled. “It just wouldn’t be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy […]
That he did this while the disaster was happening: Seriously – McCain is not “critical” of Bush about Katrina. If it wasn’t for this damn Democratic Primary the Democrats could be hitting him so hard over this right now. Show this picture of McCain smiling as people were dying in New Orleans. He really is […]
But that’s only when he really wants to. Apparently he didn’t when it came to the trailers sent to New Orleans, following Hurricane Katrina: Federal officials issued trailers to Hurricane Katrina victims even though some workplace safety tests detected high levels of formaldehyde at government staging areas for the structures just weeks after the storm, […]

Rudy talks about being so pro-active when it comes to Iraq and terrorism. Well how about this: Rudolph Giuliani’s membership on an elite Iraq study panel came to an abrupt end last spring after he failed to show up for a single official meeting of the group, causing the panel’s top Republican to give him […]
All this flack over the Don Imus controversy has me thinking about something else. There is a darling of the right out there, one they want to be their President, that has been in the same boat very recently. Here is that person last month calling the 9th ward of New Orleans “uneducated”. Ironically the […]
You can tell elections are getting closer. Instead of raising the terror level, we start to hear more about how the government is “uncovering terrorist plots“: The FBI has uncovered what officials consider a serious plot by jihadists to bomb the Holland Tunnel in hopes of causing a torrent of water to deluge lower Manhattan, […]
Raw Story has uncovered this little piece about the DNC going after Drudge: The Democratic National Committee consulted its attorneys Monday after a story posted by online heavyweight Matt Drudge claimed that DNC chairman Howard Dean intervened in New Orleans’ recent mayoral race, RAW STORY can reveal. In an exclusive Sunday evening, The Drudge Report […]
